First tribal elk kill of the summer?

[nwhunter]

Just talked with a friend that told me a Hoh tribal member shot a 4x6 bull today right along hwy 101 down by the reservation. He had a ceremonial permit for a wedding or something. He doesn't even live here apparently just came over to kill an elk and then head back to the Muckleshoot area. Park ranger came on the scene and called fish and game but not much they can do if the tribe issues the permits. Why shoot the biggest bull in the herd and not a cow or spike you might ask? None of it makes any since at all, wish I had pics but defenitely not a rumor. I was just talking to my brother about how its only a few weeks til tribal season but guess they got started a little early this year.  nwhunter

Maybe they wanted a big bodied animal to throw their beer bottles at?

That sounds about right for the peninsula tribes, I've seen a couple dumped carcasses the last few weeks....not to mention the 11 they killed the day before superbowl sunday in the Humptulips area....those 5 'hunters' took a spike, 4 pt and cows and calves....leaving a dead cow and calf in the clearcut, and letting a wounded cow and calf die in the tall reprod.....5 hunters.....7 recovered animals....and 4 WASTED animals....its hard to have any empathy for the great tribal hunter.

i'm sure you would do if you could too.

[hogsniper]

Actually I wouldnt...Yes I would hunt but the complete disregard for so many animals is just ridiculous!!!

i'm sure you would do if you could too.

No I don't think I would, Leaving animals in a clearcut to rot is not the type of person I'm. I would only take what I needed, and I would not be shooting partially developed bull elk

sorry i must have missed the part of the post where the bull was rotting in a clearcut and that the guy shot a herd of fifty animals for no reason what so ever.
